Chapter 199.2
I swallowed the word “troublesome…” that I was just about to say. The old butler would allow me to talk normally with the prince, but he would not allow me to disrespect the Emperor. Still…I didn’t expect to meet the Demon King of the Evil Race or the Emperor of Khalfaan Empire before the King of my own country.
“Also, the princess of a friendly country is returning from a short-term study abroad program… The day before her return, there will be an evening party, and Rainbow Sword members will be there as well. So Aria is also expected to join.”
“…Got it.”
That one was a pain in the neck as well, but judging by the look on Ron’s face, was there more to it? When I sent him a glance with that meaning, Elena interrupted me, tugging at my hem with her fingers.
“Your Highness Lawrence. I will talk to her.”
“…Oh.”
Elena turned to me, replacing Ron who seemed reluctant to speak.
“Aria…there is a possibility that people will target us.”
Lawrence the third prince had his life threatened by his brother prince’s relatives.
However, this changed drastically when Ron got involved with Elena, and owed the Kingdom of Claydale for [rescuing a princess of a friendly kingdom].
The reason for such a story was that it was decided after consultation between the emperor, Ron, and Elena, and it was beneficial to both of them.
To lay hands on Ron in the current situation would be detrimental to the national interests of the empire, and the neutralist nobles would also be hostile to the relatives of his elder brothers.
